~Winter Breaking~


This quilt was done after I had enough of the damp cold winter here in the south. It's a lap quilt and perfect for snuggling while knitting or watching tv. I was toying with the idea of making these for the elderly at hospitals or those who have cancer and need that extra warmth and something special to bring them hope.

The second photo is with a flash and up close to see the flowers and small growth that peeks out beneath snow and leaves as Winter is breaking.

The third photo of the Ellisimo Gold doing some top stitch work in the hoop. Largest quilt so far is a 72x72 on my Babylock. Anything larger needs to be on the quilt frame with the long arm.

(if you click on the photos they will open in a new window and become larger to see more detail)

Your quilt is beautiful. You have inspired me to try out some of the many quilting designs that I have collected. Thus far I have only done small thongs like pot holders but have a top that will be ready to quilt by tomorrow. Thanks!

Thanks. I started out at 19 hand quilting. It's been many moons since then and only rarely do I hand piece a quilt together. Besides with a few weeks I can toss a quilt out with machines. Gotta love that.
